  • Hi and Welcome! Consider that the bare minimum here is to show some effort towards your goal. I'd recommend always add the current state of your code to your question, makes it way easier to give an answer.

The example given is just a regular StringProperty added to the AddonPreferences. Notice that the subtype of the StringProperty is set to DIR_PATH:

enter image description here

import bpy
from bpy.types import Operator, AddonPreferences
from bpy.props import StringProperty, IntProperty

class ExampleAddonPreferences(AddonPreferences):
    bl_idname = name


filepath: StringProperty(
    name="Example File Path",
    subtype='DIR_PATH')

number: IntProperty(
    name="Example Number",
    default=4)

def draw(self, context):
    self.layout.label(text="This is a preferences view for our add-on")
    self.layout.prop(self, "filepath")
    self.layout.prop(self, "number")




def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(ExampleAddonPreferences)


def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(ExampleAddonPreferences)


if name == "main":
    register()
